The end is nigh and The Greatest Depression is closing in with millions of ferocious, unemployed, disillusioned and helplessly starving infected people erratically walking an unforgiving earth for years to come. Truth to be told we´re heading for a financial apocalypse because you, the people, believe in any tall tale The Powers That Be cables out.

Phone sales UK-style

Normally I don’t pick up my phone when some unknown number is calling, but since I’m currently looking for a new job It is hard not to.

For some reason very persistent sales people have picked up on my new answer-all policy. Based in Dubai representing some government plot to hide debt or some such shit, they keep calling me. And these are not the average pushy types, no, these are much worse.

Let me give you a couple of examples from earlier today.

First call:

*Born free* is heard from my cell and I answer:

- Hi, this is XXX xxx speaking

- Yes, may I speak with Mr. Xxxxx please.

- That’s me

Call 2 one hour later:

*Born free* is heard from my cell and I answer:

- Hi, this is XXX xxx speaking

- Yes, may I speak with Mr. Xxxxx please.

- No, sorry, I don’t want any, I’m not interested.

-… a UK special for…

- Another idiots just called about the same thing. Delete my number and get nuked!

-… and you can get a free…

*click*

This was the fifth call in two days. There should be some kind of UK anti-phone list or something I can put myself on. I know such things exists in most other countries. Any pointers? Anyone?
